Function documentationCreation of a Change Request

 

You use this Web Dynpro application (USMD_CREQUEST_CREATE) to create a change request, which enables you to request changes to master data.

Prerequisites

  • You have created at least one change request type in Customizing for Master Data Governance under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Change Requests Next navigation step Create Change Request Type End of the navigation path.

  • If Edition is selected in the Validity field for the entity type to be processed in Customizing under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Change Requests Next navigation step Create Change Request Type End of the navigation path, you must have created an edition that you can assign to this change request.

Activities

Explain the reasons for the changes requested. You can upload a file instead (or as supplementary information).

If you have selected the Objects Required indicator for the type of change request, you have to enter all of the objects (entities and hierarchy nodes) that are to be processed with this change request. You can include only objects that are not contained in any open change requests.

If you include a hierarchy node in the change request, then you can process the substructure underneath that node (for example, add new nodes).

Once you have requested the changes, the system automatically starts a workflow that forwards the change request to the person responsible.
